Ask a Question

Synopsis
  • This interactive map and table shows the quantity of electricity generated by each country starting from 1985.
  • It provides a graphical representation of how much each country has generated over the years and can be useful for providing a projection towards the future.
Teaching Tips

Positives

  • This is a great interactive tool that students can use for research. 

Additional Prerequisites

  • Educators will need time to get familiar with the interactive media and decide on how to implement it with learners.
  • Prior knowledge of how electricity is generated will be helpful.

Differentiation

  • There are other related interactive media for measuring similar realities.
  • This can be used to create awareness about one or more of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Scientist Notes

The resource displays electricity consumption. Students can explore the map to visualize units of energy consumed in different countries. Datasets and method used are valid and suitable for teaching.
